Question

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-5, 1)with a slope of .
Answer
y - 1 = (x + 5)
y + 1 = (x - 5)
y - 5 = (x + 1)
y + 5 = -(x - 1)

Answer 1

Slope of 1 or -1?

Answer 2

slope of 3/2

Answer 3

\[\Large y - y_{1} = m(x-x_{1})\]


\[\Large y - 1 = \frac{3}{2}(x-(-5))\]


\[\Large y - 1 = \frac{3}{2}(x+5)\]
